NAME

trantor- low-level module for Trantor T348 Parallel SCSI host bus adapter

SYNOPSIS

trantor@ioaddr,0

DESCRIPTION

The trantor module provides low-level interface routines between the common disk/tape I/O subsystem and the Trantor T348 Mini-SCSI-Plus parallel host bus adapter. The Trantor T348 is a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) host bus adapter that plugs into a parallel port (rather than a bus slot). It offers lower performance than other host bus adapters, but has the advantage of being compatible with notebook computers which do not accept a standard host bus adapter card.

CONFIGURATION

Autoconfiguration code determines whether the adapter is present at the configured address. Autoconfiguration code also determines what types of devices are attached to the adapter.

The trantor.conf configuration file contains no user-configurable items.

FILES

NOTES

The trantor driver can support only one T348 adapter per system.

The trantor driver does not support the T348 pass-through parallel port.

The trantor driver does not support concurrent use of SCSI devices and any other device (such as a printer) connected to the same parallel port. All SCSI devices must be closed before any other peripheral devices on the parallel port can be accessed.
